Hi Team,I am after purchasing an MGB and have 3 on my list (1 ) is 65 not too bad for age paint cracking in places $14000. (2) 76 rubber bumper superb condition on wires and professionally lowered to chrome specs $14000 (3) 79 LE completely restored to as new condition $18000
I am in a quandary as to which one to buy,any input would be very much appreciated. Cheers Dave New Zealand.

Re: Which one to buy
Hi Dave. My choice would be the 65 MGB.
Is it an early one, pre April, with pull handles or a later model with push button door handles ?

Just found out it was registered January 1st 1965 so it is actually a 64.

Hi Mark,
The 79 is shouting the loudest as it has been fully restored,but the more I look at the 65 it's saying buy me,restore me.
